Leadership

Global scope with ~45 team members and 6 direct reports. Navigated complex political and organizational environments while maintaining high product quality and adoption.

I have worked with Jason as a Technical Product Manager for the last year developing and maintaining mission critical high visibility products. His vision, leadership, and ability to navigate complex political ecosystems make him an excellent leader. His ability to help derive the root need of our business customers to provide the best user experience and highest quality products is evidenced in the success and high adoption rate of our products and services within the organization. As a manager he is knowledgeable, compassionate, and understanding, all while delivering and inspiring his team to deliver to the highest possible standards. He is an excellent manager and would be a great addition to any technical team. I would happily work for him again given the opportunity.
